Don't worry Hop, he's young and dumb. We all were like that. The kid will grow up. But right now it's his time.

Broner is a freaking idiot period. His time has nothing to do with it. When Roy Jones was at the top, he was as high as anyone ever, in ability, stature, and people being on his nuts. He never did no ****** ish like Broner. Look at Tim Bradley, Manny Pac. Its there time too, and they don't embarrass them selves like that. And Broner isn't even embarrassed by it, he thinks its cool.

Hell grow up I'm sure, but he is an idiot plain and simple and with or without fame he would be an idiot. Not every young great boxer is an idiot, but Broner definitely is one.

But let me say the homie can fight, and he's a great young boxer who I enjoy watching. I'm not mad at him for his antics either but he's an idiot.

.....But on second thought, he may getting genius advice from someone telling him to do these things to make a bigger name for himself so its possible hes not such an idiot if its all a plot to get exposure and to make waves like it was for Floyd. But if he really believes that its cool to flush money down the toilet then he is an idiot.

I don't care how Broner is perceived. We were all young and having fun. The older guys had their time. Let the kid do what he wants and spend his hard earned money like he wants, as long as he isn't breaking the law. He will grow up.

You can say that again. Great fighter, wise man.

The problem for most professional athletes is that time isn't on their side and by the time they grow up, it's often too late.

For every Bernard Hopkins, there are 50 guys who spend their money like it's going out of style and see their earnings potential decline (or evaporate) much earlier than anticipated.
